At the age of four, Jacqueline Rose Nunez was placed in the care of “Ma,” a
withered old lady. Rose, a diligent, obedient shy child bent to all of the old
woman’s demands.

Through her youth, the yearning for her parent’s and siblings’ affection
remained buried inside her. As she matured, however, Rose planted in a learning
garden filled with books and dreams that carried her around the globe and
nourished her mind, in a wealth of knowledge.

When she married Nello John Olivo, Rose’s rooted passion for
family sprouted into an unconditional love. Her previous enduring and trying
experiences intensified her appetite for life and blossomed into sixteen long
stem roses, her term of endearment for her sixteen children.
